I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE CAR. THIS CAR HAS A DASHBOARD PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ITS DASHBOARD IS BECOMING STICKY, SMELLY AND SHINY AS A MIRROR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR YEARS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I CALL A TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO TO ASK WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING SEVERE SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD OFTEN BLINDS MY EYES AND I ALMOST HIT A WALKER. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND TONS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND SOME LUCKY COSTUMERS GOT FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, I CALLED THE SAME DEALER AGAIN ASKING ABOUT THE POLICY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT IT EXPIRED TWO YEARS AGO, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS ANSWER IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I CALLED THEM BEFORE. I THEN CALL THE HEADQUARTER. THE OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, BUT AN EXTENDED 10-YEAR WARRANTEE. SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN MORE THAN TEN YEARS, TOYOTA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DASHBOARD UNLESS I HAVE WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED TOYOTA BEFORE ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. MY COMPLAINS ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1)THIS DASHBOARD PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. AS MENTIONED, THE SPECULAR REFLECTION FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAN BLIND THE DRIVERS AND MAKE THE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. TOYOTA MUST HAVE KNOWN THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO AND SHOULD NOTICE ALL COSTUMERS TO CHANGE THE DASHBOARD FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF FINDING EXCUSES TO REJECT MOST UNLUCKY CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' LIVES. (2)TOYOTA SHOULDN'T PUT THE BURDEN OF PROVIDING EVIDENCE ONLY ON COSTUMERS. THE REQUEST OF WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED THE DEALER BEFORE IS RIDICULOUS. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE ME A RIGHT SUGGESTION/SOLUTION BECOMES MY FAULT.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S WERE INSTALLED WITH A SUN VISOR THAT WAS LATER RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE INNER PLASTIC BODY. ... MAKING THE ARM UNABLE TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE EFFECTIVELY, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. I WENT TO TOYOTA WHO SAID THAT THE RECALL IS EXPIRED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE. I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING AND IT PUTS A GLARE IN FRONT WINDSHIELD DAY AND NIGHT WHICH MAKE IT HARD TO SEE. I BOUGHT CAR FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT WAS DOING THIS WHEN I GOT IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY DETAILED, AND COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A PERMANENT ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2007 CAMRY LE IS BURNING ABOUT 1QT/600 OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I CHECKED IT. TOYOTA ADMITS THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND STILL NOT ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL REGULARLY BETWEEN OIL CHANGES SO THAT MY CAR DOESN'T GET STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.

THE DASH ON MY 2007 CAMRY IS STICKY AND SOFT. IT CREATES A GLARE THAT AT TIMES MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. IT ACCUMULATES DUST AND DIRT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA REGARDING ANY RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING. IN ADDITION BOTH VISORS HAVE FAILED WHICH ALSO APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE.

I HAD JUST SLOWLY TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE AND WAS COASTING TO THE END OF THE SPOT WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I HIT THE BRAKE, BUT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE IT CRASHED INTO A LARGE CONCRETE PILLAR AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPOT. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED, BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY OBJECTS AROUND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE FLOOR MATS WERE IN PLACE. TOYOTA SENT AN INSPECTOR. THE EDR REPORT IS ATTACHED. TOYOTA SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR. THEY WOULD NOT HOWEVER ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EDR DATA, AND SPECIFICALLY HOW, IF THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, I COULD HAVE BEEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND WHILE THE ACCELERATOR REMAINED DEPRESSED, SIMULTANEOUSLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE EDR DATA SHOWED. NOTE THAT MY CAR WAS UP-TO-DATE WITH ALL RECALLS WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE V6 BRAKES FAILED TO DEPLOY. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, NO BRAKES! I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND ALL I HEARD WAS HISSING AIR SOUND. I BELIEVE IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE ENDING EVENT. TOYOTA NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. WHERE IS THE RECALL?
